Built during the earliest years of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in the hometown of the dynasty's founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, the half-finished royal city was the prototype of the present-day Forbidden City in Beijing. The ruins spread to a space that was even one-sixth bigger than its counterpart in Beijing.
